A Book of Remarkable Criminals / Henry B. Irving

A BOOK OF
REMARKABLE CRIMINALS
Introduction
”The silent workings, and still more the explosions, of human
passion which bring to light the darker elements of man’s nature
present to the philosophical observer considerations of intrinsic
interest; while to the jurist, the study of human nature and
human character with its infinite varieties, especially as
affecting the connection between motive and action, between
irregular desire or evil disposition and crime itself, is equally
indispensable and difficult.”–_Wills on Circumstantial
Evidence_.
